• This verb has irregular formation and function
• The function is not regular because it always uses the suffix meng- anywhere in the sentence (even in OSV sentences the affix is used, so it is considered ungrammatical if it is not used in any situation, unlike Indonesian verbs in general), for example:
  • Aku bisa mengerti pembelajaran dalam buku ini (SVO)
  • Pembelajaran dalam buku ini bisa aku mengerti (OSV)
• Compare the word paham, which does not always use the affix meng- (it is considered ungrammatical if the affix is used in OSV sentences, just like Indonesian verbs in general), for example:
  • Aku bisa memahami pembelajaran dalam buku ini (SVO)
  • Pembelajaran dalam buku ini bisa aku pahami (OSV)
• The formation is also irregular for the same reason, so the passive form are formed as dimengerti instead of the expected *dierti

• IPA^(key): /ˈɛr.ti/, (traditional) /ˈer.ti/[1]
• Rhymes: -ɛrti, (traditional) -erti
